Two investigators in a Georgia Sheriff's office are the latest to lose their jobs for stalking women using Flock, just a single example of police without strong ethical leaders, without morals, and without citizen oversight and transparency

Three more police officers have been arrested after using Automatic License Plate Readers supplied by the surveillance company Flock for non-law enforcement purposes. 

 In Savannah, Georgia, four police department workers were hauled into custody last Friday, when an investigation by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation uncovered they’d been abusing their city’s Flock system to track personal acquaintances and family members

Three of them were active police officers, while one of them was employed as a community service specialist. Two more employees had been fired weeks ago for similar offenses

 The incident has become a huge scandal for Savannah over the past few weeks, turning the historic Georgia city into a poster child for police abuse of AI-powered surveillance.

In July, five former Albany police officers were arrested after investigators said an internal audit found they had accessed retained Flock license plate data on multiple occasions for non-law enforcement purposes. Other reported cases across Georgia and the country have included allegations that officers used law enforcement databases to track romantic partners or people they knew personally.

According to the Washington Post's review of police and court records, at least 50 officers nationwide have been accused of or charged with misusing license-plate reader systems, often to track women in their personal lives. In 46 of those cases, Flock's system was involved.

Investigations are underway in at least two Chicagoland police departments regarding officers accused of abusing Flock automated license plate reader technology. 

 “This is a massive surveillance system that is set up across the state of Illinois and across the country in a way that is, for the most part, unregulated and doesn’t have any accountability that it’s serving the purpose that was intended.”

This week, U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) launched an investigation into Flock, saying it’s an “unprecedented national surveillance network” with more than 120,000 cameras across 49 states that conducts 20 billion vehicle scans every month.
